When the pandemic hit in March of 2020, many of my entrepreneur friends’ businesses went from millions of dollars to zero. My business, however, tripled in revenue that year. How did that happen? Because in 2016, I began expanding my styling services to include virtual styling. You better believe I was extra grateful for making…
One of the most critical aspects of the personal styling process is presenting an inspiration board or mood board to the client before shopping on their behalf. Shopping without a visual plan (you both agree on) is a recipe for disaster at the fitting. So how do you create this visual plan? It’s simple really,…
I don’t know about you, but I grew up in a world where the mantra was, “go to school, get good grades, get a good job, and start a family.” That mantra never really sat well with me, but I didn’t want to upset the apple cart, so I did what I had to do….
Not everyone knows this, but working as a personal stylist isn’t like working a regular job. There are no set hours, unlike a “normal” job, and there certainly isn’t a salary.

Body confidence is at an all-time low. We’ve spent a year and a half locked in the house hiding behind our computer screens, eating snacks, watching Netflix, and not going to the gym. Top that off with stress levels collectively being at an all-time high, and we’ve got the perfect recipe for the quarantine 15,…
Have you ever had someone straight-up not hold the door open for you? Like, you’re standing right there and nada. Well, I conducted a little experiment: My building has a doorman, and it’s literally his job to hold open the door for the tenants. I noticed that anytime I’d come in or out dressed in…
“Nothing ever fits me!” A common phrase amongst my clients. They say it whether they’re a size zero or a size 16. I’m here to tell you that no matter your size, there is something out there that fits you – it just might take a little extra effort to find it. In today’s episode…
